Final Answer: The values of sin(2x), cos(2x) and tan(2x) are approximately 0.991, 0.133 and 7.467 respectively.

Steps

Step 1 :We are given that tan(x)=78 and cos(x)>0.

Step 2 :From the given, we can find the values of sin(x) and cos(x) using the Pythagorean identity sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1.

Step 3 :Since cos(x)>0 and tan(x)<0, we know that sin(x)<0 (because in the unit circle, cosine is positive in the first and fourth quadrants, and tangent is negative in the fourth quadrant, so x must be in the fourth quadrant where sine is negative).

Step 4 :After finding sin(x) and cos(x), we can use the double angle formulas to find sin(2x), cos(2x) and tan(2x):

Step 5 :sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)

Step 6 :cos(2x)=cos2(x)sin2(x)

Step 7 :tan(2x)=sin(2x)cos(2x)

Step 8 :Let's calculate these step by step.

Step 9 :tan(x)=0.875

Step 10 :cos(x)=0.7525766947068778

Step 11 :sin(x)=0.658504607868518

Step 12 :sin(2x)=0.991150442477876

Step 13 :cos(2x)=0.13274336283185845

Step 14 :tan(2x)=7.466666666666663

Step 15 :Final Answer: The values of sin(2x), cos(2x) and tan(2x) are approximately 0.991, 0.133 and 7.467 respectively.
